The Long Way to Reno
“I also had to think about how, if I found nothing at home, how I was going to approach Camps 2 and 7.
I heaved a tired sigh. I was conflicted on my efforts, but…I told myself that if I was able to make it this far, then my parents weren’t that far away from me.
My dad could still take care of my mom, and – if luck was carrying me this far, then it shouldn’t be so stingy with them. They were out there somewhere. I just had to keep looking. I sat down and pulled my bag onto my lap. I went through the supplies I had, then found space to put the pack in.
Just to be on the safe side, I put my matches in a pocket I could easily reach.
Since I was near K-Mart, I figured I should load up on stuff like this.
The store was ransacked – everything valuable was gone. Blankets, clothes, camping things, food – but I noticed that some of the household cleaners were left, and I ventured towards these things. I found more hairspray, some Raid, then went looking for dishrags, candles, oil.
